Royal Parks Police shared a photo of a delivery van that they had seized in Richmond Park on July 4, with numerous parcels on the road beside it.
The driver allegedly had no insurance.
The full tweet from Royal Parks Police said: “If you see lots of parcels at the side of the road in #RichmondPark, it’s because we seized the drivers van for no insurance and we didn’t want to be responsible for undelivered packages.
“Parcels should be collected soon.“ In a later tweet, police confirmed that the contents of the vehicle were emptied, which is standard practice when a vehicle is seized.
The tweet also confirmed that the parcels were not damaged in the wet weather, and were collected shortly after the incident.
The full tweet said: “Just to confirm, when police seize a vehicle, the driver is invited to remove any items from that vehicle, as was done on this occasion.
“The parcels did not get wet and were collected shortly afterwards.“
